C-Rod, as the tabloids have rechristened Cynthia Rodriguez, may not get “as much as she wants” if the Florida divorce court declines to set aside the prenup she signed in 2000.
Shocking!
All at once, both parties are playing childchess: MY kids, no MY kids, no …
Not shocking.
WHAT’S AT STAKE HERE? IT’S NOT ABOUT CUSTODY — neither one of these parents have ever had what most Americans think of as custody. You know, where you actually spend time with a child and see to its needs, change diapers, cook porridge, watch cartoons, whatever. Millionaires, for the most part, don’t do that, the nannies and tutors and au pairs and dressers and handlers and so forth ad nauseum do it, with mom and dad popping in every now and then for a quick night-night.
A-Rod’s current contract is valued at half a billion dollars over the next 10 years or so. Not counting what he’s already got (the florida digs alone cost twelve million).
THAT’S ENOUGH AND ENOUGH AND MORE THAN ENOUGH for two adults and two children to live in lavish abundance all the rest of their days.
Yet C(unt)-Rod is filing to set aside the prenup, and A(sshole)-Rod is accusing her of “withholding” his children. All this just to solidify their positions: C wanting to take more and A wanting to give less, with the More and Less of it more or less determined by who gets custody.
Come on, people, snap out of it. You have been blessed, financially, beyond what most of us can even imagine. You can’t work this out without it getting ugly, without playing tug-o-war with your own children, without dissing each other in the newspapers?
Please, take the high road here. Both of you can afford to do that.

I know I’m living in my own little world, but I had no idea who A-Rod was until Thursday; a client asked me who he was, so we went to Starbuck$ and found some tabloids. I can’t believe the whole controversy is over Madonna. What do these people, all share the same press agent?
Can we just load all of them — including Madonna’s tired old ass — into a rocket and shoot them into the center of the sun?
